Ocean Painting Sunset Painting Acrylic Painting - Red Sunset

Red Sunset
30x30 inches, acrylic on canvas

This is a highly textured ocean sunset painting done in acrylics called Red Sunset.  

I have been missing the ocean lately, and because I live in the mountains, don't even remember the last time I saw a real live sunset.  So when painting one, I rely on memory, each stroke a memory of a beautiful sunset from some wonderful evening in my life.

I have been experimenting again with different abstract styles of painting, and this painting went through many incarnations before it became what you see today.  I was just having so much fun reliving this wonderful scene that I didn't want it to end, resulting in some really wonderful layers and colour combinations, and when I look at the horizon the sea and sky seem to go on forever.

To me that's the joy of painting, to get lost in my own imagination, my own world, where sunsets like this can happen every day!
